Changing the size of some ship components (DB edit)

[vorpal+5 (OP)]

I'm stuck on this one. The list of components to research is in TechSystem, but their mass is not defined here. I searched the data fields TechSystemID and TechtypeID in all other tables (well, np++ did that for me after a JSON export  ) and I found no relevant info tying the techs to an additional table.

So, any idea gents? Perhaps that's hard coded in the code, or I missed something ...

The physical components are in FCT_ShipDesignComponents. The SDComponentID links to the TechSystemID. The Size column is in HS.

Be careful you don't accidently change anything to zero, as that would cause problems

Also, please don't report any bugs that can't be reproduced on a non-modified DB.

Thanks a lot Steve. Promised, I will be (1) prudent and (2) not report anything I can't reproduce on a vanilla game. Thanks for the trust and help
